last Moments Of MACMILLAN.

The sun was already high in a cloudless
heaven, shining in the deep azure OF those
grand attitudes, flooding the whole valley
with an intense light. The Cerro, like an
immense rock flung in the valley, rose
bare and yellow, with here and there on
its sides green clusters of cactus and fig
trees. A square of 1900 men surrounded
1t in straight lines. They were in full
uniform, with bayonets cleaning in the
sunlight. Beyond them was a dense and
motley crowd. On the west, through the
prairie, the road to Celayo wound like a
long, white, dusty ribbon. The lines Of
snow white terraces in Queretaro were
plainly visible, dotted here and there with
green trees and surmounted with cupolas
and numerous crosses. In the distance
rose the blue peaks of the Cordilleras.
The officer commanding the platoon who
were to fire approached the emperor and
besought his pardon for the duty which
he was about to perform. The emperor
distributed among the soldiers several
gold coins bearing his efigy, and requested
them in firing to spare his face. Then he
embraced Gems. Mejia and Miramon, and
as the latter was placed on his right hand
Macmillan said in a loud voice:
1.-The brave deserve respect from mon
archs ever In. death. General, pass to the
place Of honor"
Miramon passed to the center. With q
perfectly firm, distinct voice the emperor
addressed the crowd:
"Mexicans, the men of my race and
country are born to maze their people
happy or to die martyrs. May my blood
be the last shed for the redemption Of this
unhappy country. Vive lie Mexiquel"
Then Gen. Miramon, with the same
clear, ringing voice that had sounded on
the battle field, cried:
"Mexicans, before the council of war
my defenders sought only to AVE my life.
At this moment when / am about 70 ap-
pear before my God, / protest against the
name of traitor which has been thrown
in my face to Justify my condemnation.
Let the Mexican people clear the name Of
my children from such a stain Of infamy
and may my country be happy. Vive lie
Mexiquer
Gen. Mejia, raising his eyes to heaven,
said: "Most Holy Mother, i pray that Thy
Son may pardon me, as / pardon those
who have condemned me to death"
The soldiers fired, and as the wreaths Of
smoke slowly cleared away they could see
Macmillan writhing in his blood. He
groaned family, "Hay Hombre."
A second volley of musketry ended his
sufferings Memoirs of Macmillan.

White Labor shoes.

W. II. Brown is here from San Fran
cisco in the interest of white labor, par
ticularly that branch Of labor represent
ing the shoe trade of the Coast. He is
circulating a letter of which the follow
ing excerpt will indicate the gist:
The White Labor League appeals to
the people of the Pacific Coast having
the interes. of white labor at heart, to
be sure that the above stamp is on the
bottom of all boots, shoes or slippers
they may purchase.
''If the purchaser of pair of boots.
shoes or slippers will only demand that
the stamp of the boot and shoemakers
White Labor League of San Francisco
is on the bottom of each pair, it will
be sufficient guarantee OF their being
made by white labor"
The stamp referred to has shoe

legend white Labor League, 5. F..

idea Of voting. Bvt on the 2lst OF
October, the Chair man Of the Repub-
lean County Committee (who In the
had been appointed Deputy
County Clerk-mark thatl-) sends
ont circulars to trusty Republicans
notifying them that supplement- TO
the Great Register would be printed
to include all electors who should
register before the 27th OF October.
II we couple this secret action OF the
Chairman Deputy with the fact that
the County Clerk gave no notice to
the electors of such extension of time
until the 26th of October, the day
before the register was to be closed
the second time, the aroma OF duplici-
ty and fraud pervades the transaction
to nauseating degree.
But this fact is supplemented by
another suggestive fact. The history
of the election-as clearly set forth IN
MIR. Lynch's notice upon Mr.. Nande-
ver-shows that the Democratic
County Committee having got wind
OF the secret maneuvers emanating
from the County Clerks office, busted
themselves in securing the registra-
ton of Democrats, and that out OF
five hundred names offered to the
County Clerk either in person or by
qualified deputies who had charge OF
registration, one hundred and ninety
four, known to be Democrats, were
arbitrarily refused registration. This
refusal, too, was made notwithstand-
ing the County Clerk had, up to the
last moment, assured members OF the
Democratic Committee that they
would be placed upon the Supple
mental Register These things are
not only proper material for Congress
sional investigation and correction,
but ought to enlist the assistance of
every honest journalist in their venti-
lation, if true, or their refutal by fair
answer if false. They are not, by
any means, to be put aside by sneers,
mnch less to be crowded down by an
attempt at lofty derision.
We need not here place stress upon
the fact that the County Clerk had
announced in the beginning that all
names originally on the Great Regis
ter would be carried over to the new
register, and that the new register
was kept so long in the hands of the
printer as to render it impossible for
the electors to verify the fact whether
their names were upon it or net. Yet
stress might very properly be laid
upon this point when we consider
that many names were dropped that
should have been carried over. Nor
shall We go into the other counts in
this indictment which refer to irregu-
larities and crookedness in the poll
ings in other counties in the district.
The facts we have already particular
lied are enough-and more than
enough-to warrant contest,
and when they are proven. as they
will be. by the unimpeachable testi-
mony of every member of the Los
Angeles County Democratic Commit
tee, we should have very little faith
in the permanency OF Republican
institutions if any Congress, whatever
its political complexion might be,
would not give to tine contestant a
seat which had been taken from him
by practices SO devious, so reprehensi-
BILE, and SO at war with right and
justice.

A Plea for Chicory.

A short, stout man, with u red face
and u happy laugh, is person who
has made his millions in the coffee busi-
ness on Vesey street. He spends mos,
of his spare time with the politicians in
tho Astor House rotunda and he never
was known to decline an invitation 20
drink. After taking what he has ac-
cepted he invariably munchcs hand
full of coffee. 10 select party of
jovial companions, who never before
gave tho subject thought, he said last
night: Yop can adulterate food, but
coffee is rigntfully free from the charge.
People who are ignorant say that the
mixture Of chicory with the delicious
beverage is injurious, but abroad it is
demanded, and it is overthe water that
the coffse-drinkers are. Tho "black
coffee" served at swell restaurants is
generally made entirely of the root In
Germany thirty-fve per cent. Of
chicory is added and in France over
forty por cent. In this country, bow
ever. but four per cent. Is uscd.-,M y

head into the throat sometimes profuse,
watery and acrid, at others, thick, tena-

the eyes are weak, watery, and infiamed; /;
there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hack

Republican Buster.

The Republican organs having dis
covered that their party has no chance
Of carrying New York in the President
ial election, are now pretending that
a serious attempt will be made to car
ry Virginia, North Carolina and Ten

tho organs know that to make gen.
uine Republican campaign in those
States would be US fatal as II the party
had made NO campaign. They know
that their organization uwill be led
again by Mr. Blaine, and that the
bloody shirt will play even more
conspicuous part than 1t did In tho
last campaign. The Republican party
has nothing but the bloody shirt to go
upon. and 1t will refuse as heretofore

Some Points That Should Bc Observed by

In selecting house, or site for II

especially if the sunshine enters at the
windows of the living rooms or rooms

is at all porous, II layer of concrete not
less than six inches thick and COM

bricks or gravel, should he spread over
the whole of the ground covered by

passage of ground air up through the

house acts rs sucker on the ground;
and if, unfortunately, the site is one on
"made" ground-that is composed of
all the refuse of II town-the ground
air becomes the medium of disease.
No house should be built without
well-vcntilated mir space between the
earth and the ground floor. especially
If the layer of concrete on the surface
be omitted The walls should be built
of good. hard-burnt bricks, or nom
